Transcript Active Calcium Plus™ is

Bones give your body shape and
definition
Made from calcium and other
minerals
Most (99 per cent) is stored in bones
and teeth
The rest is found in blood and in
cells
Muscle contraction
Nerve conduction
Blood coagulation
Hormone release
Energy production
Immunity
Your body tries hard to keep
calcium levels in the blood to
within very narrow
concentrations. If blood
calcium levels fall short, it is
taken from the bank in your
bones.
Not banking enough
calcium and taking too
much out of it weakens
your bones.
Getting enough calcium is a
vital whatever your age.
Children/teens need it to
maximise bone density.
USANA research: building bone
mass by just five per cent in teen
years can cut osteoporosis risk
by 40 per cent.
Your body naturally
starts to lose bone mass.
Around menopause,
calcium losses are greater
due to hormonal changes.
Women have a smaller
frame to begin with.
All these increase the risk
of osteoporosis.
It gets more difficult to
absorb calcium effectively
from the gastro intestinal
tract. And, calcium losses
in urine increase. Both
factors affect calcium
status.
Calcium and bone health
is important for men, too.
Around one in four older
men has osteoporosis.
Most adults need around
1000-1300 mg calcium
from food and/or
supplements daily.
Enjoying a diet that
contains enough calcium
is important.
Low-fat dairy products such as
milk, yoghurt, cheese???
Leafy green vegetables,
broccoli
Almonds
Soy milk and soy products and
foods fortified with calcium.
1. Calcium-fortified drinks
such as soy milk
3. Canned salmon/sardines
5. Sesame seeds – plus
products made with them e.g.
tahini
2. Leafy green veggies – kale,
spinach, bok choy
4. Tofu
Inactivity, smoking ,
drinking too much
alcohol and too much salt
can cause mineral loss
from your bones. So can
some medicines such as
prednisolone.
Weight-bearing exercise
encourages bone building
cells. Exercise increases
muscle mass, strength,
balance, reduces the risk of
falls and fractures.
Exercise has regional effects,
supplements have
generalised effects.
According to the
Australian Nutrition
Survey, about 90 per cent
of women and 70 per cent
of children don’t consume
the recommended dietary
intake (RDI) for calcium.
Can’t replace a healthy
diet. But, they can bridge
the nutritional gap. Over
40 per cent of people who
take nutritional
supplements opt for
bone-building calcium.
Taking calcium
supplements, especially
with magnesium and/or
vitamin D is safe.
Active Calcium PlusTM is a carefully
formulated, clinically proven bone-building
formula. It provides comprehensive
support for bone health and contains
sufficient calcium, magnesium, and vitamin
D to meet nutritional needs.
Reduces the rate of bone
loss and fracture in
people who don’t get
enough calcium via diet.
Improves the
effectiveness of
osteoporosis medicines in
people who have already
been diagnosed with
osteoporosis.’ (OA 2012)
Active Calcium Plus™ is
a great choice because it is
more than a calcium
supplement; it is a
carefully formulated,
clinically proven
bone-builder.
The formulation
incorporates magnesium
with the calcium, a
combination that ensures
more calcium enters the
bloodstream and isn’t
deposited in the arteries
or soft tissue.
Active Calcium Plus ™
Contains vitamins and
minerals needed for bone
health; the cofactors
complement each other to
provide efficient
absorption.
Calcium carbonate and calcium
citrate for the best delivery of
essential calcium in the
smallest tablet.
Each tablet provides 200mg
calcium per tablet to support a
healthy diet that includes
calcium-rich foods and your
daily Essentials™.
Partners with calcium
helping your body absorb
it and make bone.
Stimulates DNA in the
intestines to produce
proteins that increase the
amount of calcium that can
be absorbed. Decreases the
amount of calcium lost
from the body in urine.
Must be present to convert
vitamin D into its active form
and turn on calcium absorption.
Helps reduce bone breakdown.
Helps calcium absorption in the
bones instead of collecting in
soft tissue.
Find it in nuts, seeds, fish,
lentils and beans.
Essential for bone health.
Studies show higher vitamin
K levels equal lower
osteoporosis risk.
Activates the proteins
responsible for removing
circulating calcium from the
arteries and binding it to the
bone.
